[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0046] In the description of the present specification, the description of the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "an example", "a specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in combination with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In the present specification, the illustrative description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, the skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in the present specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0047] In the additive forming process using 3D printing, the designed 3D model may not be processed, the main reasons are: first, for thin-walled thick, long suspended rod base, face base lattice, due to thermal stress and powder support strength during printing, large deformation, collapse, rupture and other failures occur; second, the memory of some lattices is too large, the software processing capacity is limited during slicing, and it is impossible to complete the support setting, slicing and other pre-processing within a reasonable time. For the test sample of the extremely small curved surface lattice, the error between the actual printing size and the designed model size is compared, the maximum Z-direction error is 0.368mm, and for the part with thinner wall thickness and larger suspended surface, the size error is larger. The reason for the error is that the measurement point position is a suspended surface, which is supported by the powder below during printing, and the powder softening strength is not enough, resulting in slight collapse.

[0048] To this end, in some embodiments, the size correction can be made based on experience. Specifically, the feasibility of printing each part of the structure is analyzed based on experience and trial printing. For example, in order to prevent the deformation and collapse of the cavity, the horizontal inner cavity with a large diameter is changed to a water droplet-shaped profile. The boss with a height exceeding 0.6 mm on the vertical surface is set to an inclined surface with an inclination angle greater than 45 degrees, which can achieve accurate molding of the local important dimensions.

[0049] In some embodiments, in addition to the adjustment of the size, for some features with high shape retention requirements, the molding accuracy can also be improved by adding removable supports and auxiliary connecting blocks. The supports can be easily removed after printing by machining or manual methods. The auxiliary connecting block is used to improve the shape accuracy. For the "free growth" surface with high accuracy requirements but no mutual constraint during printing, an auxiliary connecting block that can be easily removed by machining can be added between the two plate planes. The auxiliary connecting block plays a role in ensuring the parallelism between the two plates.

[0050] The size modification and addition of auxiliary blocks in the above embodiments are generally completed based on manual experience. In some embodiments of the present application, an AI and machine vision-based dock folding structure design and manufacturing method is also provided, which can adjust the configuration size through multi-modal learning and machine vision methods.

[0051] Figure 1 The overall flowchart of an AI and machine vision-based dock folding structure design and manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1, the AI and machine vision-based dock folding structure design and manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps. Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present application, an AI and machine vision-based dock folding structure design and manufacturing method is also provided, which includes the following steps.

[0052] An initial 3D printing model of the dock folding structure is constructed, which includes initial structure parameters, and the initial structure parameters at least include the number of pores and the pore size.

[0053] 3D molding printing is performed according to the initial 3D printing model, and the 3D molding printing includes initial printing parameters.

[0054] During the 3D molding printing, an infrared thermal imaging method is used to detect the printing defects in real time, and the initial printing parameters are adjusted according to the feedback results to obtain target printing parameters.

[0055] 3D molding printing is performed according to the target printing parameters.

[0056] After the 3D molding printing according to the target printing parameters is completed, X-ray nondestructive testing is performed on the dock folding structure, and internal structure defect parameters are obtained.

[0057] According to the internal structure defect parameter, a size correction amount is obtained;

[0058] According to the size correction amount, the initial structure parameter is corrected to obtain a target structure parameter and a target 3D printing model, and the target 3D printing model comprises the target structure parameter;

[0059] According to the target 3D printing model and a target printing parameter, 3D printing is performed to obtain a dock folding structure part;

[0060] In the method, the infrared thermal imaging method is used for real-time detection of the printing defects, including: extracting image features of real-time infrared thermal imaging by using a convolutional neural network, and detecting the extracted image features to identify different defect types.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present application, the dock folding structure part can be a dock pier support main body fixed structure, and precise valve bodies and hydraulic elements. The combination of laser process parameters in additive manufacturing largely determines the geometry, local organization, defect size and defect morphology of the melt pool, so the online monitoring technology of additive manufacturing has great significance for the size, performance evaluation and actual application of additive manufacturing products. Non-destructive testing technology, as the current mainstream monitoring technology, has been extended from infrared thermal imaging detection, penetrant detection and eddy current method to ultrasonic detection and X-ray detection. Infrared thermal imaging is sensitive to melt pool surface and internal heat transfer, has the advantages of rapidity, non-contact and can be used for large area detection, but cannot provide information such as melt pool vertical direction morphology and microstructure characteristics. X-ray imaging technology uses X-rays to penetrate objects, analyzes the transmission image to detect internal defects, and is especially suitable for metal printing parts. It can provide high-resolution internal structure images and detect tiny pores.

[0062] In the molding process printing, the embodiments of the present application extract real-time infrared thermal imaging features by using a convolutional neural network, detect the extracted features to identify different defect types, feed back the defect types and defect quantities to the machine position, and the control system adjusts the printing operation and the corresponding printing parameters according to the feedback results.

[0063] Figure 2 A real-time defect detection schematic diagram based on infrared thermal imaging and machine vision combination of an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 2In some embodiments, the real-time detection of printing defects by using the infrared thermal imaging method further comprises: extracting image features of infrared thermal images of corresponding defects according to defect positions, and extracting time sequence signals of different defects by using wavelet transform, and analyzing differences of the time sequence signals of different defects, so as to more accurately identify different defect types. In the embodiments of the application, infrared images of corresponding defects are extracted according to defect positions, and time sequence signals of different defects are extracted by using wavelet transform, and differences of the time sequence signals of different defects are further analyzed and determined, so that different defect types are more accurately identified.

[0064] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of metal part printing quality evaluation based on X-ray and computer vision for an embodiment of the application. Reference is made to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the X-ray nondestructive testing of the folded structure of the dock and obtaining internal structure defect parameters comprise: X-ray nondestructive testing of the folded structure of the dock to obtain X-ray images, and obtaining size parameters of pore defects by using computer vision image processing methods. In the embodiments of the application, after the forming process is printed, the formed metal part is subjected to X-ray nondestructive testing to obtain X-ray images, and size parameters of pore defects of the metal part are obtained by using computer vision image processing methods, and the formed metal part is evaluated for printing quality according to information such as the number and size of pores.

[0065] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a metal 3D printing process window for an embodiment of the application. Reference is made to Figure 4 By the above real-time defect detection of printing by using infrared images and the defect evaluation of printed parts by using X-ray after printing to evaluate printing quality, a printing process window of the structure and a correction amount of the initial size of the structure can be given, and the size and performance precision of the product are improved.

[0066] In some embodiments, the initial 3D printing model of the folded structure of the dock is constructed, comprising: hole shrinking processing is performed on connecting holes with assembly precision requirements; and wall thickness thickening processing is performed on surfaces with assembly precision requirements.

[0067] Metal additive manufacturing process is essentially a special casting, which is a rapid melting and solidification process of powder under laser high-energy beam irradiation. Therefore, compared with mold pressing and numerical control machining, there is a larger size and shape error. For the connecting size of the hole, groove and other connecting parts on the dock folding structure which needs to be assembled with other components, numerical control machining is needed after printing to ensure the accuracy. However, the surface of the dock folding structure is a continuous shell, and the printing error will cause the wall thickness to be thinned during numerical control machining, thereby reducing the connection strength. During numerical control machining, the dock folding structure has many special features, and there is no ready-made machining reference. In some embodiments, the reference needs to be machined first, which introduces machining error and reduces the thickness of the shell in the reference area.

[0068] For the connecting hole, surface and other connecting parts with assembly accuracy requirements, the hole shrinkage and wall thickness thickening process is performed after the model design is completed. The hole shrinkage is to reduce the diameter of the original larger diameter hole (the minimum diameter is 1 mm). In some embodiments, the wall thickness thickening process includes increasing the wall thickness of the connecting hole wall by 2-4 mm. In the embodiments of the present application, the wall thickness of the connecting hole wall is increased by 2-4 mm. If the wall thickness thickening is less than 2 mm, the printing error of large size will affect the wall thickness. If the thickening is greater than 4 mm, the lightweight effect of the structure will be affected, and the local stiffness of the structure will be changed. In some embodiments, the initial 3D printing model of the dock folding structure is constructed, further comprising: designing at least two orthogonal machining references on the outer surface of the model, the machining references are used for machining of assembly size and surface, and can be removed by numerical control machining after 3D printing.

[0069] The machining reference has a direct impact on the machining accuracy of the assembly size of the 3D printed special-shaped structure. In the embodiments of the present application, at least two orthogonal machining references are designed on the outer surface of the model in advance. The design of the machining reference follows the principles of orthogonality, removability, proximity to important machining size, etc. After the important assembly size is machined, the machining reference can be removed by numerical control machining.

[0070] Figure 5 The process flow diagram of the post-processing link of the dock folding structure of one embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 5 In some embodiments, the method further comprises: after 3D printing obtains the dock folding structure, performing post-processing to obtain a qualified dock folding structure.

[0071] The post-processing at least includes powder bed cleaning, substrate separation, heat treatment, support cleaning, machining assembly size, inner flow channel surface treatment, surface sand blasting, size and surface defect detection.

[0072] Specifically, the dock folding structure needs to be post-processed after printing. The post-processing steps include:

[0073] Clearing the powder bed covering the printed part of the powder;

[0074] Separating the workpiece and the 3D printed substrate by wire cutting method, and removing the residual powder in the interior through the powder removal hole with the assistance of high-pressure origin;

[0075] Developing a heat treatment procedure, and sending the workpiece to a large-volume heat treatment furnace for heat treatment according to the procedure;

[0076] Removing the support residues on the surface and in the channel by manual removal, and performing preliminary polishing;

[0077] Processing the required assembly size by machining method;

[0078] Reducing the surface roughness of the internal flow channel by grinding flow grinding and local electrolytic polishing method;

[0079] Carrying out surface sand blasting treatment to further reduce the surface roughness;

[0080] By measuring and non-destructive testing methods, the dimensional accuracy and surface crack defects are inspected to confirm the product qualification.

[0081] Through the above steps of post-processing, the microstructure regulation, thermal stress elimination, assembly size and surface roughness control of the workpiece can be realized, and the qualified product from size to performance can be delivered.
